This is how I feel. Sure you can cut off his hand and send away the gauntlet, but who know who gets it then and what happens.

Dr. Strange does, thats why they dont do it.

What if they send it near a black hole where the gravity eventually gets it


Yeah, but is it really a good idea to send the infinity stones off into a blackhole? Like, I'm not exactly sure how they'd react to that. It's sort of like dropping an assailants gun into a flaming steel drum.

...While I agree with you, why are you here if you haven't seen it??

I don't have a huge interest anymore and I've seen enough spoilers that nothing is really going to have much of an impact. I have a long history with comics and superheroes, though, and still keep tabs on the series.

What the fuck

My god, Ive taken so much for granted in my life....

Nope, not pulling that out of your ass. If he could willpower out of it he would have did it a lot sooner, especially when the glove as almost completely off. The only thing that stopped Mantis was Peter knocking her loose.

Or maybe a much simpler and more logical explanation is that he just didn't know where he was, which is why he couldn't teleport back to Earth.

Black hole as in anywhere someone can't get it

Like the middle of the ocean or a star

There is of course the thing today strange has to imagine being there

That makes sense, but the problem is that between magic that can do anything and Asgardian sci-fi fuckery, I'm fairly certain Doctor Strange couldn't work out the perfect hiding space that is off limits to every alien, humanoid, and robot out there. If it's safe, someone can get to it. If it's not, then you risk doing god knows what with a gauntlet that is basically made of nuclear reactors.

He knew he was still on Earth, not millions of miles away from Earth and not even knowing in which direction.

No, it's pointless to address. Their plan of simply stealing the gauntlet would have left them stranded on Titan either way so why even mention that? At least getting rid of his left arm would make it a lot harder for him to use the gauntlet again.

Even though there actually is an explanation stated in the movie. It doesn't work.

Strange looked at millions of possibilities and only saw one where there was a victory.

The movie has likely never diverted from the vision he saw. He didn't just look at the battle on Titan. He looked long term.

But that's a very cheap way to say "No, there aren't any plot holes, we made our characters think of that".

We as the audience shouldn't just take at face value that he was right. The fact that so many people are arguing against it means that it was poor writing.

If they had tried somewhat to show why Strange chose this one path, then it wouldn't be so bad.

That's what the sequel is for. The movie ends on a cliffhanger. But the obvious signs are there. We know why Strange chose this path. It's the only one where they win for good.

Yeah it does, he said there is only one possible timeline to stop Thanos. Strange obviously had seen that putting his hand through another portal would not work.


But why? At least Strange could have said a line or two as to why certain strategies wouldn't work.

Or more likely it shows that people are never satisfied. How long was this movie supposed to be? Because it would be fucking stupid to lengthen it just for the whiny people who are like "well they didn't show anything so this could've worked". No. We are shown why Thanos was feared without the Stones. We are show how patient he is. We are shown how durable he is. We fucking have enough to understand why there's only one possibility where they ultimately win. Not the movies fault people can't pay attention if it isn't in flashing neon signs.

You don't need to watch the other movie for it to make sense. The signs are there for you in the movie.

Why would they ruin the future reveal that everything is going to according to Strange's plan? That would completely deflate the tension for the audience and characters like Stark.

We see it worked for one of the Black Order, yeah. But they are way weaker than Thanos. They didn't need a specific weapon to kill them and they didn't need the combined efforts of multiple people to barely hurt them. Hell, the fact that they died so easily is more than an indication that what hurt them won't hurt Thanos. Except for venting him into space, if it took place on a ship that would be a very valid complaint.

Thanos notes that he doesn't use his time stone and considers it a weakness.

Strange simply is letting the fight play out in the way he wants to. Everything is probably timed down to the second since he's accounting for the eventual snap that leaves behind the people who will eventually win.

What Strange does or doesn't do in the fight isn't important. What he's setting up afterwards is.

Ancient One: I've spent so many years peering through time, looking at this exact moment. But I can't see past it. I've prevented countless terrible futures and after each one there's always another, and they all lead here ... but never further.

Dr. Strange: You think this is where you die.


I don't think that's definitive at all.

We also don't know if being erased by the time stone is the same as dying anyway.

Pretty sure that answer is garbage seeing as how it never explains it in the movie. What's hilarious is anything not explained in the movie that they can do is dismissed when it doesn't support your narrative.

But when I or anyone else question the potential powers of the infinity stone that is supposed to literally be infinite it's just "oh it doesn't say that in the movie they obviously can't do that."
